Good afternoon Monocacy Middle families,
During the 6th lunch shift, a student showed a knife to several peers. Students alerted administrators after recess. No students were harmed, and the student who displayed the knife was taken to the front office without further incident. School resource officer was contact.
A thorough investigation is underway. Any disciplinary action will be taken in accordance with the FCPS Student Code of Conduct.
Since this took place during a lunch shift, other students witnessed the incident. Our school counselors are available for any student who needs to discuss concerns.
Aggressive behavior and weapons have no place in our school environment. Please take this opportunity to talk with your child about ways to settle disagreements without hostility and the serious consequences of bringing weapons to school.
We also want to remind the community that if you see something to say something. We all play an important role in keeping our schools safe.
Thank you,
Reginald Gunter
Principal
